Okay I have to say this. Frank McCourt is a genius....
That's kinda exaggeration, but who else could write a whole story without clear dialogue. This is what i mean. Throughtout this whole book there is NO use of quotations to differentiate thoughts and details from dialogue. There is dialogue though. It's weird how there is no clear way of picking out dialogue at a glance but in context it is obvious when someone is speaking and when McCourt is just writing. I think this is awesome. I never thought or experienced that before. It draws me into the book even more. Its kind of mind boggling how McCourt was able to accomplish this. It sounds weird, but thats only because it is. How could you not have qoutations in dialogue?.WOW. This book is sooooooo different from others i have read. I think that is an effective way of keeping the reader's interested. it might also cause some people to abandon the book, but not for me.
